​Here are some Resources for saving money on cycling purchases! 
https://www.decathlon.com/search?query_history=%5B%22cycling%20gloves%22%5D&q=cycling%20gloves&category_history=%5B%5D&sorting=NATURAL|desc


Decathlon has good deals on clothing and helmets as well as other gear.


https://www.bikesdirect.com
Bikes Direct has great deals on all kinds of bikes at different budgets. I’ve never ridden any but reviews are good and I probably will get a bike from them someday.


11 Speed Entry Level Bike from Bikes Online 
Bikes online also seems like a great resource. The bike listed in this link is a type I’d recommend  for someone’s first road bike. I haven't ridden this specific bike but a bike with Shimano 105 11 speed that is about $1,000 is ideal in my opinion. More soon on how to pick your first road bike!

The Black Bibs

The Black bibs is a great resource and has all types of cycling clothing as well as one of the best deals on bibs and shorts.

If you want to go down the Ali Express Rabbit Hole Trace Velo is an excellent guide! It is a bit of a crap shoot but I have made some sweet scores from this site for sure! 

New Update! 
Costco is an amazing resource for Clothes, and Fuel!
Video Coming soon Documenting these steals:)
In short, Head Running Gloves are amazing for cycling, the Costco socks and base layers work wonders for cycling as well! 

FB Market Place is an amazing resources for cycling gear, the problem is if you are new to the sport it is hard to know if a used bike is damaged or not ect. I you can get an experienced friend to view something with you then steals are available!!

Lets Talk Food!
Ride food is becoming more expensive all the time, Banana's, Fruit Snacks, Fig Bars and a good ol PBNJ work great. Don't get sucked into paying a huge amount for simple sugars. If your riding a lot on a budget you can fuel with great ingredients for way less money. Potatoes for instance work as well as cliff bars~ maybe better!
​
This is Just the Beginning to help you get started more soon!

Helpful links, thanks for doing the research so I don’t have to. Question: what’s the logic behind a “bib”? Looks like a wrestling onesie. The link you posted seems specific to men - is this also something women wear?

Hi Katie, The Black Bibs has a women's line on their website and they do have women's bibs. Bibs give extra support to your stomach and low back and provide a little more warmth to your internal organs. Shorts are beneficial for different reasons and women often use them as bathroom breaks are much easier etc. When I first started riding women who wanted to wear bibs used mens bibs and eventually they came out with women's specific bibs. Every brand has a slightly different fit and I've used women's cut shorts in the past which worked fine. Now with a big upper body I use a casual cut which would usually be baggy but fits me aerodynamically like a race cut... There will be some trail and error with different brands and finding out your preferences. You will pay more money at a bike shop for clothes and helmets but you can have the items instantly while knowing the exact size of things.
